Portugal is a popular golf holiday destination which is suited to golfers of all ages and abilities. You are sure to enjoy a golf holiday in Portugal with the fantastic choice of beautiful and challenging golf courses all over the country. What's more is that Portugal is also ideal for non-golfers, with plenty of things to see and do which can be enjoyed in a pleasing year round climate.
Portugal is a much-loved holiday destination due to its long days of glorious sunshine, sandy coastlines and world-class golf. As well as all of the obvious attractions, Portugal offers charming medieval castles and quaint little villages which are just waiting to be discovered.
There is a whole host of fantastic golf courses in Portugal, many of which offer stunning rounds with an ocean view. The renowned Penina Championship course; which often hosts the Portuguese Open is a definite must play, along with The Old Course which is the most renowned golf course in Vilamoura.

The weather is one of the many reasons as to why golf holidays in Portugal are so popular. The Algarve in particular is renowned for having long hot summers which are perfect for those of you who want to escape the temperamental British weather during the summer months. Furthermore, the short mild winters are ideal for anyone hoping to get some last minute winter sun.
Do be warned though, Portugal’s close proximity to the Atlantic Ocean means that it can get windy, but we just see this as an extra challenge when you are playing the fantastic golf courses in Portugal.
Portugal has an average flight time of 2.5 hours from the UK which means you can start your golf holiday in Portugal sooner than you think.

Furthermore, transfers to most venues take 45 minutes which we can book for you; just ask one of our experts when enquiring.
When you are not playing one of the many top quality golf courses in Portugal, there are a variety of events throughout the year to take part in. The Algarve Motor Park is home to some fantastic events from powerboat championships to car rallies and motor cross events. Another must visit within the Algarve are the Mardi Gras celebrations (usually around February). There is even a seafood festival for seafood lovers, and in the summer months expect to find many out door concerts and beach parties, as well as some fantastic jazz festivals.
There is also an abundance of beautiful sights in Portugal, including the historic town of Lisbon. We highly recommend the river tour which really is one of the best ways to explore this enchanting town.
Portugal has a diverse and vibrant night life. Vilamoura is fantastic for groups with plenty of bustling nightclubs to keep you entertained until the early hours of the morning; the Marina is particularly popular for big nights out. Furthermore, the towns of Albufeira and Lagos also offer excellent nightlife for those of you who are looking for something more beyond the golf courses in Portugal.
